Since December 21st, 2010 a Tijuana sewage pipe has been spewing raw sewage onto the streets, beaches, and subsequently into the ocean. Approximately 31-40 million gallons of the gooey green sludge have found their way into the Pacific and due to north-bound currents are making their way into the Southern California’s waters.

Silver Strand, Coronado, and Imperial beaches are all at risk of becoming the ultimate dumping ground for the waste. Tijuana officials are trying to get the situation addressed by Monday, January 24th. The total environmental impact of the spill is unknown, but ultimately the native species of corals and fish in the region will be affected on some level.
